Christmas came early this year! LOL Below is a pic of the new aluminum headache rack with 70 gallon hydraulic tank, stop/tail/turn lights, emergency light bar, chain hangers, chain trays and jail bar window. I'm sure it will look nicer when mounted on the truck...you'll just have to wait and see ;-) Jeff... -

Finally! Got the tires, rims, and wheels all mounted up...new brakes, drums, wheel seals, bearings, slack adjusters, air cans, etc., etc. Now to get the fifth wheel and fenders mounted up. -
Spoke wheels too...my 4 new spoke wheels for the rears were $1,200 each from Mack.

Hello All, A quick update...got the wheels and tires in...just have to mount them. Got a good deal on 10 Goodyear Workhorse MSA 12R x 24.5s...the new spoke wheels and Dayton rims were VERY hard to locate....I guess the days of the spoke wheels are coming to an end (or I'm getting too old! LOL) I'm sure someone will turn these pics for me 😉 Jeff... -

OK More updates...all new spoke wheels (got 4 of the last 6 Mack has..I guess this is end of the spoke era?), brake drums, brake shoes, air cans, cam bushings, wheels bearings and seals, etc. Just waiting on the tires and rims to arrive so we can set the height for the new fifth wheel and new rear fenders. P.S. As usual, I cannot get these pics rotated correctly..if someone could do that, I'd certainly be thankful! Jeff...
